Today is April 15, Jackie Robinson Day on the baseball calendar. My husband and I saw "42" yesterday, and once again mused that we always enjoy sports movies, but not actual sports. I think I've figured it out. Real games need to have stirring orchestral music as players round the bases or make the big touchdown, and they need to edit out all the long boring hours of no action and just leave the moments of triumph or defeat. That would do it. :)
